hey,
I'm a fresher at uni and I had to do this for my january assignments because they were rubbish.
I was really scared and unsure about it which is the impression i get you are feeling. Either get a letter first or i just told them the bare facts, i arranged a meeting with my personal tutor and just sed look im a mess i cant think stright i have depression i havent slept in weeks blah blah (you get the picture). then said i want to apply for extenuating circumstances and she was accepting of it and told me what form i needed to fill in.
Do you have any contact with university services?? because these can help you to fill in the form correctly if you are having difficulty...
